Princeton, NJ — October 15,2002 — EPAM Systems, Inc. today announced that it ranked Number 292 on the 2002 Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 1997-2001. EPAM Systems, Inc. grew 1,109% percent during this period. EPAM Systems' CEO, Arkadiy Dobkin credits the emergence of Russia as a premier Outsourcing market, the evolution of EPAM's services delivery model and very satisfied customers with the company's five-year, 1,109% growth rate. "We see our sustained growth as evidence of a maturing Russian IT Services market," said Dobkin. "More and more, our customers are turning to Russia to help create, sustain and deliver affordable IT services. We are proud to lead the way."

Evans, managing director of Deloitte & Touche's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. "We congratulate EPAM on becoming one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in the United States and Canada."

The Fast 500 list is compiled from three sources: Deloitte & Touche's 20 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, companies must have had 1997 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD, for United States and Canada respectively, must be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be "technology companies" defined as companies that own proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues or devote a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.

Technology Fast 500 winners are invited to an exclusive CEO Summit held each spring. The CEO Summit, now in its fifth year, is designed to address the unique business challenges facing these super-charged technology companies.
